In the Fall - Wooden Shjips

Wait in the dark 'Til your eyes adjust To the light and you See all the stars They're not so far now, love I know sometimes it feels like you're alone, you're alone And you can't take the weight of the world all on your own But don't forget the voice inside your head I'll always find a way back to your heart Just keep waiting in the dark Keep holding on Dreams are coming soon I'll be there with you It won't be long And you'll be in my arms I'll be keeping you warm I know sometimes you feel like giving up, giving up No, it's not easy being far away from love But don't forget the voice inside your head We never really have to be apart Just keep waiting in the dark, in the dark Just close your eyes and you'll find me Just close your eyes and you'll find me Just close your eyes and you'll find me I'll be there I'll be there Close those tired eyes And put that mind to rest You'll be safe in bed I'll hold you tight And you'll be loved tonight

A keen sense of gray washed all other colors away today And to my surprise, the feeling was good when we said goodbye But I miss the warmth, of love in the summer, of course I will But ya can't believe in what ya can't feel And I knew all along this landing never was real Guess I'm Better in the Fall when all is new I won't blame myself for not loving you I'm Better in the Fall before the cold comes When harvest is near, thought I was in love I'm Better in the Fall Dead leaves to dust, Without reasons, seasons just change 'cause they must But you weren't the cause. Don't question the silence that follows the pause I miss the fling we shared in the spring. How could I forget? Yes, you can't shake what you don't regret Still, something reminds me watching that Autumn sunset

A mass of hands press on the market window Ghosts of progress dressed in slow death Feeding on hunger and glaring through the promise Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle A mass of nameless at the oasis That hides the graves beneath the master's hill Are buried for drinking, the rivers water while Shackled to the the line at the empty well This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over the new ground This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over new ground Listen to the fascist sing "Take hope here, war is elsewhere You were chosen, this is God's land Soon we'll be free of blot and mixture Seeds planted by our Forefathers' hand" A mass of promises begin to rupture Like the pockets of the new world kings Like swollen stomachs in Appalachia Like the priest that fucked you as he whispered holy things A mass of tears have, transform the stones now Sharpened on suffering and woven into the slings Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress Taking today what tomorrow never brings This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over the new ground This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over new ground Ain't the new sound Just like the old sound Just like the noose wound Over the new ground Ain't the new sound Just like the old sound Look at the noose now Over the, over the, over the burning ground Ain't it funny how the factories doors close? 'Round the time that the school doors close? 'Round the time that the doors of the jail cells Open up to greet you like the reaper? Ain't it funny how the factories doors close? 'Round the time that the school doors close? 'Round the time that a hundred thousand jail cells Open up to greet you like the reaper? Ah, oh! Ah, oh! Oasis! This is no oasis! This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over the new ground This is the new sound, just like the old sound Just like the noose wound, over new ground Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall, like ashes in the fall (Ah, ah! Oh oh!) Like ashes in the fall... (Ah, ah!...)

When they've been rolling run away I've been rolling down Soon they crawling down this way When they travel light When the darkness carried away And it so simple how For the morphing down the lane The sky breaking down Yeah, the feeling touch Oh, these shadows And there's nothing I could say To see them coming down I'll be searching for the way You've been sitting around Could see you so far, to be gone
